TROUSERS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 373,313, dated November l5, 1887.

Application filed September 9, 1887. Serial No. 249,225.

(No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be 1t known that I, MosEs NIMRoD SEVIER,

' of Vernon, in the county of'Wi-lb'arger and State act description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it pertains to make and use't, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, which forms part of this specification.

My invention relates to an pants; and it consists in a pants-leg having a recess or notch cut in its lower rear edge, so as to prevent it from coming in contact with the ground, as will be more fully described hereinafter.

The object of my invention is to .prevent pants-legs from wearing away at the lower rear edge bycomingin contact with theground, as is now the case, and this I accomplish by cutting a recess or notch in the lower rear edge of the leg at that point where the goods come in contact with the ground.

The accompanying drawing is a rear view of a pantsleg embodying my invention.

Pantslegs cut in the usual manner have their lower edges cut downward at an angle from that point which rests upon the instep of the foot. This method of cutting makes the rear edge ofthe bottom ofthe pants much lower than the front edge and brings the rear edge in Contact with the ground. The lower Vrear edge of the leg coming in contact with improvement in which seriously disfigures the pants, and is a very great annoyance to the wearer. For the purpose of overcoming this defect I cnt in the lower rear edge ofthe pantsleg A a recess or notch, B, which prevents the lower rear edge ofthe pants-leg from scraping upon the ground and wearing out, as is now the case. The leg A is formed in the ordinary manuel-,with the exception of the recess B, which is cut in its rear lower edge at that point where it usually touches or scrapes upon the ground, and thus this great objection and `annoyance are done away with in a cheap and effectual manner.

I do not limit myself to the exact form or shape of notch or recess here shown, as it is obvious that the lower edge of the pants-leg may be cut away in any manner desired to accomplish the object herein described without departing from the spirit of my invention.

Having thus described my invention, I claim.-

As a new article of manufacture, a pairl of pants having arecess, B, formed in the 'lower rear edge of each of its legs, substantially as shown.

In testimony whereof I affixl my signature in presence of two witnesses.

Y MOSES NIMROD SEVIER.
